From April.1993 to Jan.1994,transcatheter maxillary arterial chemoem- bolization using Cisplatin microspheres(DDP-ms)in combination with PBF(DDP,BLM,5- Fu)had been used in 14 cases with regional relapsed nasopharngeal carcinoma and 3 cases of untreated locally advanced nasopharngeal carcinoma got positive response.The result showed 2 patients with Cr,13 PR,1MR and 1 NC advanced cases with PR.The total suc- cessful rate(CR+PR)was 88 24%(15/17),In addition,the main toxicity and coplicaton had been discussed.

There are two types of Chinese medicine, i.e., "Shihu" and "Tiepi shihu", using the stems of species of Dendrobium (Orchidaceae) as original materials. In order to understand species of Dendrobium using in Chinese medicine, taxonomic investigation and revision were performed. Our results indicated that about sixty species of sect. Dendrobium, sect. Formosae, and Sect. Stachyobium, are used as raw materials of "Shihu". Seven species of Dendrobium moniliforme complex and four species in Dendrobium officinale complex were recognized.

BACKGROUND:As the complexity of human anatomic structure,the abnormity of tissue shape and the difference among individuals,the structure of multifractal is adapted.OBJECTIVE:To investigate medical image segmentation based on multifractal.METHODS:Image segmentation was performed by algorithm based on capacity measurement and probability measure.The experimental images were segmented using traditional region growing,max capacity measurement,sum capacity measurement,and probability measure.Following adding noise,the images were identically segmented and compared.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the two algorithms based on multifractal,the key of the algorithm based on capacity measurement is that appropriate measure μα is defined,and the key of the algorithm based on probability measure is that appropriate normalized probability Pi is defined.The different measures (probability) and thresholds bring greater effect.The method based on probability measure is sensitive to noises,but after filtration noise,segmentation effect is greater for the images whose pixels vary comparatively great and very complicated.The results show that it is feasible that appropriate measure (probability) and threshold is chosen based on medical image segmentation.Especially greater advantage exists for the distinction of texture and edge in the complicated image processing,which can reserve details while precisely dividing.It has very significant practical significance.At the same time,multifractal can also be characteristics of images,which provide powerful data for feature extraction.

[ABSTRACT]AIM:Toobservetheeffectsofpuerarincombinedwithsaxagliptinonrenalfibrosisintype2dia-betic rats.METHODS:Fifty male Wistar rats were used, of which 8 rats were randomly chosen as normal control group , and the remaining rats were used to establish the type 2 diabetic model.The rats that met the criterion for the diabetic mo-del were randomly divided into model group , puerarin treatment group , saxagliptin treatment group , puerarin combined with saxagliptin treatment group and metformin combined with saxagliptin treatment group .The above-mentioned drugs were ad-ministered for 8 weeks.After that period, all rats were sacrificed.The kidney index (kidney weight/body weight),and blood glucose and HbA1c were examined in all the rats.The morphological changes were observed by HE and Masson stai-ning.The levels of TNF-αand macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in the serum were measured by ELISA .The mRNA expression of TNF-α, MIF and CD68 was examined by RT-PCR.RESULTS: Compared with normal group , the kidney index, blood glucose and HbA1c, the levels of TNF-αand MIF in the serum and the mRNA expression of TNF-α, MIF and CD68 were increased (P<0.05) in the kidney tissues of model group .Compared with model group , the kidney index, blood glucose and HbA1c, the levels of MIF and TNF-αin the serum and the mRNA expression of TNF-α, MIF and CD68 were decreased ( P<0.05) in puerarin combined with saxagliptin treatment group .CONCLUSION:Puerarin com-bined with saxagliptin reduces blood glucose , decreases MIF and TNF-α, and down-regulates the mRNA expression of TNF-α, MIF and CD68 in the kidney tissues of type 2 diabetic rats, which may contribute to the inhibition of renal fibrosis .

ObjectiveTo observe the curative effect of Xiangshaliujunzi decoction on critically ill patients with gastrointestinal dysfunction accompanied by spleen deficiency syndrome of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and its influence on tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6).Methods Forty-eight critically ill patients admitted to Department of Emergency Intensive Care Unit (EICU) in Zhejiang Provincal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Xiasha Campus from February to December 2015 were enrolled, and they were randomly divided into observation group (26 cases) and control group (22 cases) by random number table method. The patients in both groups were given routine emergency western therapy, and in the observation group, additionally, Xiangshaliujunzi decoction (ingredients: codonopsis pilosula 20 g, atractylodes macrocephala koidz 12 g, poria cocos 12 g, radix glycyrrhizae preparata 4 g, rhizoma pinelliae preparatum 6 g, pericarpium citri reticulatae 5 g, fructus amomi villosi 5 g, radix aucklandiae 4 g, rhizoma zingiberis recens 3 pieces) 80 mL was prepared and divided into two parts for nasal feeding, once 40 mL, twice a day, while the patients in the control group received the nasal feeding with the same amount of warm boiled water. Before treatment and 3 days and 5 days after treatment, the gastrointestinal function scores were assessed, and the changes of the levels of plasma TNF-α, IL-6 were recorded.Results There were no statistical significant differences in gastrointestinal function scores, the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 between the two groups before treatment and 3 days after treatment (allP ﹥ 0.05). But 5 days after the treatment, the gastrointestinal function scores, the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 were obviously decreased in two groups, and the degree of decrease in observation group was more significant [gastrointestinal function score: 0.92±0.85 vs. 2.27±0.77, TNF-α (ng/L): 17.7±2.4 vs. 25.0±4.2, IL-6 (ng/L): 16.9±2.4 vs. 25.0±3.4, allP < 0.01].Conclusion Xiangshaliujunzi decoction has therapeutic effect on critically ill patients with gastrointestinal dysfunction and accompanied by spleen deficiency in TCM, the mechanism may be related to decreasing the levels of TNF-α and IL-6, thereby depressing the inflammation.
